Young Academy Student
Chapter 4
Before we even got 5 feet out of the village, Naruto started jumping around. This does not look good at all on the client. Tazuna seemed to think so to because he said.
"What are you doing? Can I trust you to protect me"? Kakashi sighed and I smirked at his discomfort. He said.
"Don't worry, like Raina said I'm a qualified ninja and a Jonin". Naruto yelled.
"Hey! I'm a ninja too! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, believe it! I'll be Hokage". Tazuna snorted.
"Hokage is the strongest ninja. They are also strong and wise. You are stupid and puny". Naruto yelled back.
"Hey, I'll make you wish you never doubted me, believe it"! Tazuna laughed and said.
"Yeah, when pigs fly". I sighed again, knowing Naruto will get angry and say something back. Kakashi stopped him and we were on our way again. I looked in the forest, alert and bored at the same time. Sakura looked a little worried and then asked Tazuna a question, she asked.
"You live in the Land of Waves, right"? He nodded and said rudely.
"Yeah, so"? Since the client was rude to her, she asked Kakashi.
"Are there any ninja in the Wave country"? Kakashi brought out a scroll of the 5 elemental countries similar to the one I have. He stared up a conversation and I ignored it. I came back to the talk when I heard him say.
"…you doubted the Hokage, didn't you"? Naruto and Sakura looked nervous and Sasuke looked the same. Kakashi ruffled Sakura's hair. I put my hands in my pockets and sighed, bored. I do that a lot, sighing. I saw a small movement and turned around to see Kakashi wrapped in chains. They pulled it and pulled him apart. I thought of the mission and jumped in front of Sakura, Since I know that she could not really do anything if it came down to it.
I pulled my Katana in front of darted to every possible area. Naruto was frozen, wait what? Idiot move. I thought he was such a great Ninja. I rolled my eyes. Sasuke saved Naruto by pinning their chains to a tree and then kicking them in the face. The chains broke off and they came after us. Kakashi grabbed them in a headlock, and knocked them out. Then he tied them to a tree. I put my Katana back, but kept a Kunai knife tightly in my right hand. Kakashi said.
"These are the Demon Brothers and they are ex ninja from the Mist Village". They glared at him and he continued, ignoring them.
'They are also Chunin level". Kakashi then looked at Naruto and said.
"Naruto was poisoned; sorry didn't know you'd freeze like that. Good job Sasuke, Sakura. You too Raina". I nodded my head slight, but kept my eyes on the Demon Brothers. Kakashi said.
If we continue this we will have higher ninja after us. Tazuna what I would like to know is who were they after. You or us". Tazuna looked guilty.
"Excuse me". Kakashi said.
"The target was you". He said.
"Okay, okay". Sakura said.
"This mission is way out of our league and Naruto needs medical attention". Kakashi was about to say something, but Naruto stabbed himself in the hand. I frowned, oh the poison. He said.
"With this right hand, I'll protect you bridge builder". Kakashi smiled.
"It's nice that you got the poison out, nut you'll bleed to death". Kakashi can get stupid. Kakashi wrapped Naruto hand up and were on our way. I and Kakashi were in the back, Tazuna in the middle and Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. Soon we were at a boat and all of us got in. I looked at the water and my eyes widened when I saw the half done bridge. Wow, that's nice, not like I'd say it.
Naruto started yelling and the Boat Man shushed him. We got off soon and walked in a forest like area. Suddenly, Naruto threw a kunai knife in the trees I quickly flicked out a Kunai knife and looked around. He said.
"Heh, just a mouse". We all glared at him, putting my Kunai back in my pouch. I think he is the dumbest ninja I ever seen. Wait, if he does not collect that, we'll be discovered by the enemy. I said.
"He needs to collect his Kunai knife". Sakura, Naruto and Tazuna looked at me confused along with Sasuke. I said.
"If a Ninja comes by, they will be alarted by us being here". Kakashi blinked in surprise before nodding and said.
"Good observations Raina, Naruto look for your Kunai". Sasuke looked annoyed and Naruto went to go look for it. 10 minutes we were on our way to leave again. He then threw another Kunai. I sighed, annoyed now. I heard a whimpering sound. We all walked over to see Naruto almost hit the bunny, but he scared it.
Naruto grabbed it and hugged it close. I heard Sasuke snort and noticed Sakura roll her eyes. I rolled mine and said.
"Just forget the rabbit and focus on the mission. The client could get hurt". Sakura rounded on me and glared. She said.
"Is that all you ever thing about, the mission"? I rolled my eyes at much a stupid question and replied.
"That's what a ninja supposed to do and what were assigned to do at any cost". I hard smack to my head and I mean hard. My head fell forward and I felt my eyes rattle. I blinked the small bit of pain and stared up at Kakashi. I asked him.
"Why did you do that"? He said.
"Watch the way you talk…duck"! We all went to the ground and a sword was struck in a tree above us where our heads were. We quickly stood up and backed up a bit. Someone was standing on the sword. He was a large man in size. He had short brown hair with a Mist Village Headband sideways on his head. He had bandages over the lower half of his face and some kind of print Pants and was muscular and shirtless. Kakashi looked at him and said.
"Momochi Zabuza. Ex- Swordsman of the Mist". Zabuza chuckled and said.
"Hm, I'll be taking the old man now". Kakashi stated back.
"Sorry, Can't do that. Manji Battle formation". I jumped in front of the client and Sasuke and Naruto were at my sides. Sakura was in the back. I had a kunai tightly in my right hand. If I had my Sword, I would lose. Seeing his sword you could tell he is better with it and would crush me. Kakashi let out a sigh and said.
"I'll have to use this". He pulled his headband from his eye and I saw something black and red in it. I've seen it from somewhere. Sasuke gasped and I wondered why. Zabuza said.
"Sharingan Kakashi, copier of a 1,000 Jutsu". Naruto was fed up and yelled.
"What is this Sharingan Talk"? No one said anything, but then Sasuke answered Naruto loud and my silent question.
"It's a Doujutsu than can copy Genjutsu, Taijutsu or Ninjutsu". Zabuza chuckled at him and said.
That's not all is it"? Sasuke glared. Zabuza said.
"Enough talk Kakashi, it looks like I'll have to eliminate you first". He suddenly ended up on the water and made a handsign. Then there was mist everywhere, making it hard to see. Kakashi said.
"He will come after me first. But keep your guard up because my Sharingan can't see everything". I heard Sakura hitch a breath and Sasuke and Naruto breathing heavy and I know for a fact I was too. Kakashi continued on.
"But don't worry all you'll do is lose you lives". My heart skipped a beat and Sakura said.
"How could you say that"?! I heard a grave voice say.
"Throat, Spinal Column, Liver, Jugular Vein, Subclavian artery, kidney, and heart. Which one should I pick"? Kakashi then looked dead serious. The air was dense and drove me on edge. I felt shaking and glanced to my left to see Sasuke losing it. He had a Kunai pointed close to his chest. Kakashi turned his head and eye-smiled at us. He said.
"Calm down Sasuke". Sasuke stopped pointing the Kunai knife at his chest. He looked at Kakashi in surprise and Kakashi said.
"He then struck Zabuza in the stomach with a Kunai knife. To my surprise all that came out was plain water, Water clone. I should have guessed. Zabuza went to stab Kakashi and he also turned into water. Either he knew the Jutsu already, which is possible seeing him a Jonin or his Sharingan is real good. Zabuza laughed.
"All you do is copy me, no real skill". He suddenly kicked Kakashi in a lake we saw before. He was about to get out but Zabuza quickly got over there and trapped him in a prison water ball.
Dammit! I know Zabuza is way out of you league. And Kakashi is also trapped. I don't even know how long he will be able to breathe under there. Oh, well, this why you can't count on anyone, but yourself. Don't trust anyone. I'll just have to stay in front of the client as long as I can and to the best of my ability.
I will not fail this mission. Remember to always complete the mission at any cost. Ninja Rule. That's what a ninja must do anyway. Zabuza created a water clone and he came to us. Zabuza stared at us and said.
"You 4 don't know what it means to be a ninja". I kept my face blank, even if my blood was boiling. Ninja rule: 'A Ninja must always not show emotion at any time or reason'. Kakashi kept his eyes on us and Zabuza. He said.
"The Demon of the Mist". The Zabuza clone chuckled and said.
"So you heard, well I should tell you a story". Kakashi didn't wait for him to continue as he said.
"There used to be a graduation test that they now banned." Zabuza and Zabuza clone gave Kakashi a glare. Zabuza clone said.
"Yeah, imagine a fight between students, comrades and friends". Kakashi continued what he was saying.
"One day a little boy who was not even in the academy shows up and kills all the graduates". Zabuza was laughing loudly and I had a sick feeling in my stomach. I could guess who it was. Zabuza said, still chuckling.
"That was fun". I swallowed my suddenly dry throat. I am horrified. I guessed what it would be, but hearing him say it makes it worse. Zabuza quickly kicks Naruto making him go flying with his headband going the other way near Zabuza clone by the shear force. Kakashi yelled.
"You all need to leave and save the mission. The client is the reason we are here". I nodded in agreement. He's right, the mission always comes first. I looked at my team and swore when I saw them determined to stay, I could see the look in their eyes. I spoke lowly to Sasuke.
"We need to save the client and go". Sasuke grunted at me and said.
"Why Should we"? I snorted at the question and answered.
"The mission needs to come first". Naruto ran at Zabuza clone and Zabuza kicked him back. I narrowed my eyes and noticed his headband in his head. I sighed through my nose. Sakura looked at me and glared while scowling. She said.
"Don't even think about it, you and the damn mission. I'm sick of your talk". I shook my head and said.
"Then you don't understand what you need to do as a ninja". I heard Naruto yell.
"Hey no eyebrows, remember this. I, Uzumaki Naruto from the Village Hidden in the Leaves will become Hokage someday". The clone stared at Tazuna and I stood firmer in front of him. Kakashi yelled again.
"What are you doing, I said to leave"! Naruto looked at Tazuna and asked.
"Bridge Builder"? He sighed and said back.
"You risked your lives to get me here, go ahead and save your sensei". I glared over at Naruto and was kicked away from everyone with Zabuza clone above me. Before I could move away, his foot was on my stomach. I grunted in pain and he pressed harder. I bit my lip. He pressed harder and I felt my ribs about to break. A bunch of Naruto piled on I and I rolled away and darted back to the client and stood in front of him, hunched over.
Sasuke gets stepped on next and I focus all my attention the mission in front of me. My ribs throb in pain, but I know I didn't get them broken. All four of us are near each other again and Naruto looks at Sasuke and says.
"Hey Sasuke, let's go wild". Sasuke smirks and says.
"Hn, now you want to you Teamwork". Zabuza clone laughs. Naruto disappears and Sasuke throws a large ninja star and the real Zabuza is targeted. He notices this and goes to dodge, but then Naruto becomes the Ninja star that was hidden and Zabuza is forced to let go.
Kakashi stops Zabuza from striking Naruto with the large Ninja star and they engage in a Ninjutsu battle, with large water Jutsu in the like. He then uses 'Water Vortex Jutsu on Zabuza shocked face and he goes flying in a tree with 4 Kunai knifes pining him to it by his Thighs and arms. Zabuza looked at him and said.
""What? How did you…"? Kakashi said.
"Your future is death". Before he could stab him in the neck, 2 senbon needles came out of nowhere and hit Zabuza in the neck. His body slumped over. A Hunter ninja jumped down and we all stared at him. Hunter Ninja said.
"Your right, he did die". Kakashi nodded at him and he disappeared with Zabuza Body. Kakashi pulled his headband back over the eye and smiled at us. He said.
"Okay let's-". He stopped and then passed out. Tazuna helped carry him and we soon ended up at Tazuna's house. Then we laid him in a spare room and wait for him to get better. He was still breathing, so he is not dead.
We were all in the kitchen with the daughter of Tazuna making tea and Tazuna taking a nap from the long journey. We sat around and waited for Kakashi to recover.
